On behalf of myself Rayaka Moore and Bishop Louis Henderson, and in collaboration with New Hope Ministries of Orlando, I would like to invite you to our annual Community Back to School Bash. Please save the date for Aug. 15, 2015 in Orlando, FL. This Community Back to School Bash will bring the surrounding communities together, provide school supplies to the children in the communities returning to school. Also letting them know we’re always here to help how ever we can. As well as present a different image to our youth and their families despite what’s being displayed in the news. In doing so restoring their faith in the City of Orlando, Community Leaders, themselves and Us!

Better Breathers Clubs offer the opportunity to learn ways to better cope with COPD while getting the support of others who share in your struggles. These support groups give you the tools you need to live the best quality of life you can. Meeting will be held in Orlando Health Heart Institute on the 1st floor-classroom C.

The Drive is a gathering of young adults in their 20s and 30s who come together each Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at First Baptist Orlando to worship God, study His Word, and make a difference in their community.

Children will be grouped according to age. Players may be moved up or down in age groups according to skill and ability. All moves will be approved with the parents prior to doing so. We ask that each child have their own shin guards and a water bottle.

Light House Community is a huge advocate for children education and believe that no child should be limited in receiving a proper education. So we are putting on a back to school Rally for a low income community in Altamonte Springs. We are collecting school supplies and donations to help put the event together. We are expecting to have over 100 kids and are looking for any organizations or sponsors that would like to help by donating any school supplies to help us make this event awesome. We are going to be having a mini concert with some local orlando talent, games and food!
